We believe a lifetime of good dental health begins in childhood, by having regular checks; any developing problems may be detected and treated early, or hopefully avoided altogether.

At each examination appointment our OHT’s will:

• Complete a thorough examination of the teeth and gums
• Take radiographs (x-rays) when necessary
• Highlight areas of plaque and calculus accumulation
• Train and coach in tooth brushing and oral hygiene techniques
• Remove any plaque or calculus (professional scale and clean)
• Highlight early signs of decay or gum disease
• Give individualised diet advice and preventive education on oral care
• Apply fluoride to prevent decay

Following the examination, our OHT’s can provide the following services if required:

• Preventive fissure sealants to protect teeth from decay
• Restorations (fillings)
• Extraction (removal) of deciduous (baby) teeth
• Pulpotomies (nerve treatment of deciduous teeth)
• Stainless steel crowns (to protect the teeth after a pulpotomy)

All treatments are tailored to each individual patient

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
